soft (green) pattern [27]. Chronic pancreatitis can be
differentiated from pancreatic cancer by a difference in
the elastography appearance in most of the cases. It is
important to highlight the different pattern in cases of
autoimmune pancreatitis, characterized by a diffuse
stiff pattern in the pancreatic parenchyma, not just in
the focal mass[25,26].
Elastography can also be evaluated in a quantitative
manner by calculating the ratio between the strain in the
region of interest and a reference area in surrounding
soft tissue (strain ratio) or evaluating the strain histogram of the selected area. Malignant pancreatic masses
and neuroendocrine tumors produce higher strain ratios
and lower strain histograms than inflammatory masses
and normal parenchyma. It has been suggested that a
strain ratio of >10 or a mean strain histogram value of
<50 is associated with malignancy[26,28,29] (Fig.44.5).
Color patterns, strain ratio, and strain histogram values
for the evaluation of solid pancreatic lesions are shown
in Tables44.1 and44.2.

Different meta- analysis have evaluated the diagnostic
performance of EUS elastography for the characterization of malignant pancreatic tumors. Overall, a high sensitivity (92–98%), but a low specificity (67–76%) have
been reported[30,31]. No significant advantage of semiquantitative strain elastography over qualitative strain
elastography has been demonstrated. The low specificity
can explain the difficult interpretation of cases with
chronic calcifying pancreatitis. Calcifications show a
hard blue pattern, as expected, so it is important in these
cases to evaluate the areas where no calcifications are
present. In a recent multicenter study, 50% of solid pancreatic lesions ≤15 mm proved to be soft, and the probability of a soft lesion to be malignant was negligible[32].
Therefore, due to its very high negative predictive value
for malignancy, EUS elastography may have a specific
value for the evaluation of small pancreatic lesions. A
topic of specific interest in the evaluation of chronic pancreatitis cases is the role of elastography to detect blue
spots (hard tissue) inside the mass- forming chronic pancreatitis, to target the area of sampling. A study on 54
patients with solid pancreatic lesions, using a 25- gauge
EUS needle that was inserted into the most suspicious
part of the lesion according to EUS elastography
(Fig.44.6), reported a positive diagnosis of carcinoma in
85% of patients. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and
specificity of the combination EUS- elastography/FNA
was 94%, 93%, and 100%, respectively[33].
Endoscopic Ultrasound- Guided
ContrastEnhancement
Contrast enhanced harmonic EUS (CEH- EUS) is a methodology to further improve the EUS- based differential
diagnosis of solid pancreatic tumors. The development
of microbubble- based contrast agents together with
technological advances and refinement in ultrasound
technology has led to improved imaging of fine vascular
structures and visualization of microflow patterns within
target lesions[34,35].
Lesions of interest should be reported and documented
in terms of their specific contrast enhancement by looking separately into the arterial phase and the venous
phase over time. Thereby, the temporal behavior of signals can be assessed and compared with those signals
arising from the surrounding tissues (nonor hyperenhancement) and with its contrast distribution
(homogenous or heterogeneous). Besides qualitative
descriptions, the intensity of depicted contrast signals
can be quantified by the calculation of time–intensity
curves both during the wash- in and wash- out phases[36].
Several parameters can be calculated for further reviews
such as peak enhancement, rise time, wash- in and washout rate, area under the curve, and others.
The main contrast agent available is SonoVue/Lumason
(Bracco Imaging, Milan, Italy), containing microbubbles
composed of sulfur hexafluoride gas enclosed in a lipid
shell. After intravenous injection, the pancreatic arterial
phase occurs within 15–30 s before a venous phase starts
approximately 30–45 s after injection[36].
CEH- EUS can differentiate the nature of solid pancreatic lesions, particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that is typically hypoenhanced (Fig. 44.7). In this
regard, pancreatic adenocarcinoma differs from other
solid lesions such as neuroendocrine tumors, pancreatic
metastases, or pseudotumoral (mass- forming) focal
chronic pancreatitis. Both mass- forming chronic pancreatitis and autoimmune pancreatitis present as iso- or
hyperenhanced pseudotumors as opposed to the
hypoenhanced lesions associated with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Contrast enhancement can also be used to
assess therapeutic response in the treatment of autoimmune pancreatitis[35].
Several meta- analyses have shown the accuracy of this
methodology in the differential diagnosis of solid pancreatic tumor, mainly for the detection of pancreatic
cancer. Sensitivity ranges from 85% to 90%, and specificities from 80% to 90%[37–39]. A large multicenter trial
that included 167 consecutive patients indicated that
peak enhancement, wash- in area under the curve,
wash- in rate, and the wash- in perfusion index were significantly different in patients with chronic pancreatitis
, hypo- , iso- ,

and pancreatic cancer[40]. Furthermore, using a model
of artificial neural networks for the parameters listed
above, the authors found an increased sensitivity (94%),
specificity (94%), positive predictive value (97%), and
negative predictive value (90%). The diagnostic yield of
CEH- EUS for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer versus
other tumors in lesions <15 mm has been confirmed in a
recentmulticenter trial including 219 patients, indicating
an overall 89% accuracy [41]. Recently, time–intensity
curve analysis has also been used with a high diagnostic
accuracy of 91% to characterize focal pancreatic
lesions[42].
Contrast- enhanced EUS can also be used for targeting EUS- guided sampling. However, a recent study has
shown that diagnostic rates for samples obtained using
22- gauge needles with standard EUS- guides sampling

and CEH- EUS- guided sampling were not significantly
different [43]. However, the use of CEH- EUS may
reduce the number of needle passes needed to reach a
diagnosis as compared to conventional techniques [44].
Combination of EUS-Guided Advanced
Imaging and Tissue Sampling
The combined use of different EUS technologies has
been shown to improve the diagnosis of solid pancreatic
lesions. A recent meta- analysis selected 17 studies evaluating elastography, contrast enhancement, and tissue
sampling for pancreatic lesions. The pooled sensitivity
and specificity were for qualitative elastography respectively, 97% and 67%; for strain ratio 98% and 62%; for
contrast enhancement 90% and 76%; and for tissue
acquisition 84% and 96% [45]. Iglesiasshowed an overall accuracy for malignancy using elastography, CEH- EUS, their combination, and EUS- guided
tissue acquisition of 98.4%, 85.5%, 91.9%, and 91.5%,
respectively. Importantly, the combination of advanced
imaging provided very useful information for establishing the malignant potential of the lesions[28]. Costache
etal. conducted a multicenter trial on the combined use
of EUS- guided elastography and CEH- EUS. Elastography
García et al.
showed a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value,
negative predictive value, and accuracy of 100%, 29.63%,
78.65%, 100%, and 80.41%, respectively. Corresponding
values for CEH-
EUS (considering hypoenhancement as a
predictive factor of malignancy) were 98.57%, 77.78%,
92%, 95.45%, and 92.78%, respectively. Combining CEHEUS (hypoenhancement) and EUS- guided elastography,
the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 98.57%,
81.48%, and 93.81%, respectively. Best results were
obtained using a sequential clinical algorithm based on
the initial use of elastography, followed by contrast
enhancement[46].
Conclusions
EUS, CT, and MRI can all provide valuable and complementary information for the differential diagnosis
between mass- forming chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
However, EUS has the unique ability to allow obtaining
specimens for histopathological diagnosis safely and
accurately, thus playing nowadays a crucial role in the
evaluation of patients with solid pancreatic lesions.
Advanced imaging (EUS- guided elastography and CEHEUS) further increase the diagnostic capabilities of EUS
in this setting.

Clinical andGenetic Definitions
Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a syndrome that encompasses acute pancreatitis (AP), recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP), and chronic pancreatitis (CP). A mechanistic
definition of CP is useful for framing HP as a process
extending from asymptomatic risk to end- stage disease.
Chronic pancreatitis is defined both by its essence and
its character as “a pathologic fibro- inflammatory syndrome of the pancreas in individuals with genetic, environmental and/or other risk factors who develop
persistent pathologic responses to parenchymal injury or
stress”[1]. In addition, “Common features of established
and advanced CP include pancreatic atrophy, fibrosis,
pain syndromes, duct distortion and strictures, calcifications, pancreatic exocrine dysfunction, pancreatic endocrine dysfunction and dysplasia”[1]. The definition was
designed to assist in the early diagnosis of CP, the prognosis, and in the type and timing of potential therapies.
Hereditary pancreatitis is defined by clinical presentation in a family or by genetic test results in an affected individual. In families, HP is defined as two or more firstrelatives or three or more second- degree relatives with
recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) or chronic pancreatitis
(CP) in two or more generations, consistent with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Less commonly, families may appear to follow alternative inheritance patterns
(e.g., autosomal recessive and complex). Alternatively, HP
can be diagnosed in an individual with pancreatitis and a
known pathogenic germline mutation, regardless of family
history. Of importance, the penetrance of PRSS1 hereditary pancreatitis is incomplete and therefore, identification
of a pathogenic PRSS1 mutation in an asymptomatic individual is not sufficient for a diagnosis but does indicate
high risk. Some hereditary pancreatitis- appearing families
degree
have pathogenic variants in the serine protease inhibitor,
Kazal type 1 gene (SPINK1), the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR), SPINK1 plus
CFTR, the chymotrypsinogen C gene (CTRC), or a more
complex genotype. Therefore, the absence of a pathogenic
PRSS1 variant does not preclude the diagnosis of HP in a
family. A diagnosis of HP should always be considered in
idiopathic pancreatitis, early-
onset pancreatitis, or in a
family with multiple affected individuals.
Familial pancreatitis refers to the occurrence of pancreatitis of any cause in a family with an incidence greater
than would be expected by chance alone. Familial pancreatitis does not follow an observable monogenic pattern of inheritance. Kindreds with familial pancreatitis
may have shared genetic and/or environmental (e.g.,
alcohol, smoking, stress) risk factors that predispose
them to pancreatitis above the general population risk.
Epidemiology
Hereditary pancreatitis is a rare genetic disorder. In
1952, Comfort and Steinburg described a large family
with HP[2]. Since this initial report, hundreds of HP kindreds have been identified in several regions in the
United States and Europe and in a few families in Japan,
Korea, China, Thailand, Malaysia, and South America.
The vast majority of HP kindreds identified in the United
States are of European ancestry linked to large pedigrees
(>500 people), suggesting founder effects. The reason
that HP is rare in Africans and Asians is unknown.
The prevalence of hereditary pancreatitis differs by
geographic region, and HP has been observed most frequently in the USA and Europe. A national series of HP
in France estimated a population prevalence of at least

0.3 per 100,000[3]. Since there is autosomal dominant
inheritance with high penetrance and founders originating multiple generations in the past, the fraction of CP
patients with HP will vary greatly from region to region
and country to country.
Clinical Presentation
Hereditary pancreatitis typically presents with acute pancreatitis in early adolescence, with a high risk of progression
to chronic pancreatitis by early adulthood (Fig.45.1). In HP,
the phenotypic features are confined to the pancreas,
whereas CFTR- related disorders affect multiple organs as
seen in cystic fibrosis. In patients who develop CP, major
comorbidities include pancreatic exocrine insufficiency,
diabetes mellitus, and chronic pain syndromes. In comparison to CP of other etiologies, HP has earlier age of onset and
appears to have higher cumulative risks for exocrine and
endocrine failure in patients who develop chronic pancreatitis, as well as increased risk for pancreatic cancer.
The disease penetrance for a PRSS1 mutation was estimated as ~80% [4–6]. However, a national series of
PRSS1- tested patients in France identified a penetrance
of 93% [3]. Of note, estimates of penetrance may be
inflated by biased study ascertainments. Penetrance may
also differ by type of mutation and presence of modifying
risk factors. Lifespan is not reduced as compared to the
general population, except in patients who develop pancreatic adenocarcinoma[7].
14 years for the p.N29I mutation, and 14.5 years in
patients without an identified mutation [4]. Severity,
length, and frequency of attacks are variable and can
vary dramatically by family. In one large kindred, 58% of
PRSS1 p.R122H subjects were <5 years at the age of
symptom onset[5]. Shared modifier genes and environmental factors in families contribute to age of onset and
severity. For example, disease onset in four twin pairs
differed by median of 1 year (range 0–2.4 years) as
compared to 7 years (range 2–15 years) in a nonsibling
comparison group matched for mutation, gender, and
age[9].
At least 83% of patients experience epigastric abdominal pain[3]. The number of reported hospitalizations for
acute pancreatitis varies by family and mutations status,
with nearly 90% of affected individuals reporting >5 hospitalizations [4,5,8]. The EUROPAC study found a significant reduction in hospital admission rates for patients
with a PRSS1 p.N29I mutation (0.19 per year) as
compared to patients with a PRSS1 p.R122H mutation
(0.33 per year)[4]. However, the difference in number of
attacks between patients with an p.N29I mutation
(1.4 per year) and an p.R122H mutation (2 per year) was
not significantly different, suggesting that the p.N29I
mutation results in less severe attacks [4]. The same
study found that the majority of attacks are ≤7days in
length [4], but smoldering pancreatitis and/or persistence of pain that lasts weeks or months has been
reported in patients with hereditary pancreatitis[10].
Acute Pancreatitis
The median age of onset of acute pancreatitis is 10–12
years [3,4]. Some studies have shown that the age of
symptom onset is earlier in PRSS1 p.R122H carriers
compared to p.N29I carriers and mutation- negative
patients [4,5,8]. A multicenter European (EUROPAC)
study of 418 subjects from 112 families identified an age
of onset of 10 years for the PRSS1 p.R122H mutation,

Chronic Pancreatitis
Recurrent acute pancreatitis progresses to chronic pancreatitis by the second or third decade of life in the
majority of patients with hereditary pancreatitis. Rate
and severity of pancreatic fibrosis and parenchymal
destruction is highly variable, with cumulative incidence
of ~50% in a lifetime (Fig.45.1). A trend exists between
the number of attacks and degree of fibrosis, and this
process is highly influenced by modifying factors.

Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency
Progression of inflammation and fibrosis eventually leads
to pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in a significant subset of patients. Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency occurs
when the pancreas cannot supply a sufficient quantity of
digestive enzymes to the intestines, leading to maldigestion. The EUROPAC study identified cumulative risks for
exocrine failure of 8.4% at 20 years, 37.2% at 50 years, and
60.2% at 70 years, with a median time to malabsorption
of 53 years[4]. No significant difference in time to malabsorption was found between men and women[4].
Diabetes Mellitus
As with other forms of chronic pancreatitis, chronic
inflammation and progressive fibrosis also lead to islet cell
injury. Glucose intolerance progresses to pancreatic endocrine insufficiency from loss of insulin-
secreting beta
cells. Furthermore, loss of glucagon- secreting alpha cells
places patients at high risk for hypoglycemia. Diabetes
mellitus from pancreatic exocrine disease and loss of all
islet cell types is classified as type 3c. However, acute pancreatitis and pancreatic inflammation also triple the risk
of type 2 diabetes, which develops earlier in the clinical
course then type 3c[11,12]. The danger of hypoglycemia
is enhanced by untreated pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, since the ingestion of nutrients is not well coordinated with digestion and absorption. The cumulative risks
for endocrine failure in HP are 4.4% at 20 years, 47.6% at
50 years, and 79.1% at 80 years[4]. Median time to development of diabetes mellitus was 53 years and not significantly influenced by gender and mutation status[4].
Pancreatic Cancer
Hereditary pancreatitis is associated with a >50- fold
increased risk for pancreatic adenocarcinoma [4,7,13].
Estimates for cumulative risk for pancreatic cancer at 70
years range from 7.2% to 40% [3,4,13,14]. The risk for
pancreatic cancer is highest in smokers and individuals
with diabetes mellitus. Smokers with HP have ~twofold
increased risk for pancreatic cancer, with development
of cancer 20 years earlier than nonsmokers[15]. More
recent lower estimates of pancreatic cancer risk may
reflect successful counseling of HP families to avoid
tobacco [14]. The increased risk for pancreatic cancer
appears to result from chronic inflammation rather than
a PRSS1 mutation itself, since all forms of CP are associated with pancreatic cancer, but early- onset pancreatitis
in HP remains one of the strongest known risk factors for
pancreatic cancer.
Incidence of pancreatic cancer varies extensively
between HP families, and some families have high
incidences of pancreatic cancer in the absence of clear
environmental factors, suggesting the presence of risk
and/or protective variants. Annual screening for pancreatic cancer is recommended for patients with PRSS1- HP
beginning at age 50 or 10 years younger than the earliest
familial onset of pancreatic cancer[16].
Management
As with pancreatitis of nongenetic etiology, management
is aimed at prevention, reduction of symptoms such as
fibrosis, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and pancreatic endocrine insufficiency, and alleviation of pain. The
approach should be based on targeting the underlying
genetic factors, minimizing environmental stressors, and
considering new therapeutic interventions as indicated.
Alcohol, emotional stress, and dietary fat can exacerbate
pancreatitis and should be avoided. Patients should also
be counseled to refrain from smoking, which doubles the
already increased risk for pancreatic cancer [14,15].
Antioxidants may reduce pain in a subset of patients[17].
Common recommendations include a lowmultiple small meals a day and to maintain good hydration to reduce the risk of an attack, but these recommendations are not based on strong evidence and a normal
diet is possible with appropriate pancreatic enzyme
replacement therapy.
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency should be anticipated
and managed with early initiation of pancreatic enzyme
replacement therapy. The diagnosis of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency currently relies on clinical suspicion
from abdominal bloating, diarrhea, steatorrhea, deficiency of fat- soluble vitamins or vitamin B12, or unexplained weight loss. The most common diagnostic tests
include measuring low levels of human fecal elastase, low
serum trypsinogen levels, or the clinical response to a
trial of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy.
Diabetes mellitus is common both in patients with
pancreatitis and in the general population. In HP, type 3c
diabetes mellitus typically develops years after the onset
of CP. The diagnosis is challenging, and standardized
protocols are not widely accepted. However, the clinical
context of advanced CP, especially with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, should indicate caution and a multidisciplinary approach involving endocrinologists and
pancreatologists. The destruction of the islets may limit
the use of some antidiabetic medications, and the use of
insulin must be balanced with the ingestion and digestion of the meal, which may require the addition of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy.
In the absence of pancreatic cancer, the primary
indication for surgery is pain. Total pancreatectomy
with islet cell autotransplantation (TPIAT) can be

considered in younger patients with intractable,
narcotic- dependent pancreatic pain[18,19]. Total pancreatectomy without islet autotransplantation can be
considered in older patients with chronic pancreatitis
for 20 years or more to reduce pain and as a last resort
to reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer[20,21]. The need and timing of this radical procedure requires both experience with the procedure and
clear prognostic understanding of what will happen
with, and without TPIAT.
Molecular Genetics
In 1996, a missense mutation in the cationic trypsinogen
gene (PRSS1) was identified in a large hereditary pancreatitis family[22]. Mutations in PRSS1 have since been
identified in 65–100% of HP kindreds with an estimated
penetrance of 80%. Since this discovery, additional genes
associated with recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis
have been identified, particularly SPINK1, CFTR, and
CTRC[23–26] (Tables45.1 and45.2). Other important
genes that have been associated with chronic pancreatitis include CLDN2, CASR, CTSB, CPA1, GGT1, and
TRPV6 [27–29]. Disease mechanisms for many of the
genes associated with pancreatitis are complex, and
gene–gene and gene–environment interactions are not
fully defined.
PRSS1
Cationic trypsinogen is the most abundant isoform of
trypsinogen (~65%), followed by anionic trypsinogen
(PRSS2, ~30%) and mesotrypsinogen (PRSS3, ~5%)[30].
Trypsinogen is the inactive zymogen of trypsin, a digestive enzyme and regulator of all pancreatic zymogens,
except amylase and lipase. The trypsinogen activation
peptide maintains the inactive enzyme until it is cleaved
by enterokinase or another trypsin, generally in the duodenum. Self-
destruction (autolysis) occurs at p.R122,
which is located on the single chain that links the two
globular domains of trypsin. Two calcium- binding pockets serve as “on–off ” switches in response to calcium concentrations, inducing distinct conformational changes.
Increased calcium concentrations facilitate trypsin activation, whereas reduced calcium levels permit autolysis.
PRSS1 gain of function mutations fall into two categories: (i) premature activation of trypsin in the pancreas;
or (ii) resistance to degradation. The importance of
PRSS1 mutations is demonstrated in transgenic mice
with early-
onset acinar cell injury and dedifferentiation,
inflammatory cell infiltration, and progressive pancreatic fibrosis[31]. Many of the less common PRSS1 variants found in patients with pancreatitis do not appear to
be gain- of- function mutations. Instead, they may represent coding region variants causing protein misfolding,
and triggering an unfolded protein stress response that
drives fibrosis in a poorly defined way[32].
